Depends on the exact os and on how the box is configured. Also a box can have many ip addresses. With any fully qualified domain name, you can lookup the ip addresses. Can we assume that you know the fqdn?

One exception: the machine's ip address is 127.0.0.1. Every system can contact itself using this address.
